Kofi Adams wins NDC National Organiser by landslide The Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kofi Adams has been overwhelmingly elected as the party’s new National Organiser at the party’s 8th national delegates congress on Saturday. Adams, who had earlier expressed confidence of victory at the congress, polled 2,543 votes and beat his only challenger, the incumbent National Organiser, Yaw Boateng Gyan by 734 votes. Having been billed as one of most competitive positions in the elections, the margin of the victory for Adams will come as a surprise to many. Notable among Adams’ supporters for the position was the former President and founder of the NDC, Jerry John Rawlings, who emphasized the need for Adams to be elected by the delegates to help the party regain its “lost integrity.” “I wish I could keep him with me for us to do a lot of work together, but I think the party needs him more than I do. My integrity is still intact, it is the party that has lost its integrity or some members of the leaders that require some people like Kofi to go and increase the quality,” the former president said of Kofi Adams. kofi adams Mr. Adams’ loyalty to the NDC has been called into question and he has been accused of collaborating with the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Akufo Addo against the party. He, however described those allegations as “cheap and defeatist” in a statement. “The allegations, which are being oxygen by some senior officials, including a leading parliamentarian that I have been cavorting with some members of the NPP leadership, are cowardly, cheap and defeatist and should be treated with the absolute contempt they deserve,” the statement said. The NDC delegates also retained Johnson Asiedu Nketiah as the General Secretary of the party while Kofi Portuphy was elected the party’s National Chairman. kofi adams and boateng gyan 2 #Provisional figures at the #NDCcongress Propaganda Secretary position Solomon Nkansah - 1,528 Kobby Fiagbe - 1,440 #Provisional figures at the #NDCcongress National Organizer position Brong Ahafo/Upper East Kofi Adams - 350 Yaw Boateng Gyan - 176 Provisional figures at the #NDCcongress National Organizer position Volta/Western Kofi Adams - 501 Yaw Boateng Gyan - 128 Provisional figures at the #NDCcongress National Organizer position Greater Accra Region Kofi Adams - 347 Yaw Boateng Gyan - 99 Provisional figures at the #NDCcongress Deputy Treasure position Volta/Western Anabah Adam Moro - 122 Mohammed Mashood - 21 Ebenezer Nii-Armah Tackie - 66 Berthe Agnes Amenuvor - 275 Vida Addae - 112 Provisional figures at the #NDCcongress Deputy Treasure position Greater Accra region Anabah Adam Moro - 163 Mohammed Mashood - 51 Ebenezer Nii-Armah Tackie - 14 Berthe Agnes Amenuvor - 185 Vida Addae - 51 Provisional figures at the #NDCcongress Propaganda Secretary position Solomon Nkansah - 1,528 Kobby Fiagbe - 1,440 Provisional figures at the #NDCcongress Deputy Treasure position Volta/Western Anabah Adam Moro - 122 Mohammed Mashood - 21 Ebenezer Nii-Armah Tackie - 66 Berthe Agnes Amenuvor - 275 Vida Addae - 112 Provisional figures at the #NDCcongress Chairmanship position Kofi Portuphy - 2,413 Dan Abodakpi - 610 Dr. Kwabena Adjei - 392
